NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska man who was fatally injured at work last month helped save three lives by donating his liver and kidneys.
The fact that Michael Nelson was able to save lives helped his daughter, Carly Nelson, deal with his death.
The 56-year-old had been working on rebuilding his life when he was injured. Previously, he had spent 12 years in prison and served in the Marines.
Nelson was injured on Oct. 24 when a beam struck him in the head while he was helping install a conveyor system at Frenchman Valley Produce.
